Bathroom humor---yes, got to love it! Hope you don't mind me crashing the potty...
Hm, from your "humour" and "loo" I wonder if you're British? Then "potty" would mean...crazy?
I completely repainted the bathroom when I kicked H out. Painted huge orange poppies on the wall. Now that he's probably moving back in, I wonder if I should repaint something less in-your-face?
Good luck with your piecing and renovation---yes, I think they're related. And making over the space we live in can help externalize our "new starts."
